CHATHAM — The Illinois Association of School Administrators has revoked an award from a former Ball-Chatham school superintendent who last year settled a lawsuit with the district alleging misconduct.

A draft of the lawsuit revealed that Bob Gillum, who served as superintendent from 2007 to 2012, misspent nearly $30,000 of district funds and had undisclosed — and, in at least one case, paid — relationships with district contractors. The association named Gillum the 2011 Illinois Superintendent of the Year. Gillum retired from the district in 2012.

Association spokesman Mike Chamness said the award was revoked June 12 and declined to comment further.

Chamness issued a written statement saying this action is in accordance with an association policy regarding review and revocation of awards.

“Mr. Gillum was selected for the award by an IASA awards committee in 2010 based upon the information available to the committee at that point in time,” the statement said. “The IASA policy allows for review and possible rescission of awards to account for situations where information surfaces that was not known at the time of an award.”
